A short documentary I wrote, filmed, and edited while a student at the University of Cincinnati in 2010. This piece was created in cooperation with UC Magazine, the university's alumni publication.
Synopsis: University of Cincinnati graduates recall marches, sit-ins and other reactions across campus following news of shootings at Kent State and Jackson State, as well as President Nixon's decision to invade Cambodia. UC's campus closed for several weeks in the spring of 1970, prompting some to leave Cincinnati and miss commencement. The UC Alumni Association invited those grads back four decades later to walk as part of the official graduation ceremony on June 11, 2010.
This was my first exposure to documentary filmmaking, and I really enjoyed the process of re-telling this tragic event in American history through these former students' particular, subjective experiences.
